Sharing the Road

For cyclists:

1. The same laws that apply to motorists apply to cyclists. Obey all stoplights and signs, and use hand signals to indicate stops and turns.
2. Always wear a properly fitting helmet.
3. Stay to the right side of the road. Always ride in the same direction as traffic. (Never travel the wrong way down Comm Ave. This is incredibly dangerous.)
4. Ride safe!
   • Ride predictably in a straight line and avoid swerving.
   • Be visible. Wear brightly colored clothing and use a white front and red rear light in low light.
   • Be aware. Scan the road ahead of you. Don’t listen to headphones while biking; you need to hear everything around you.

For motorists:

1. Yield to cyclists.
   • Bicycles are vehicles of the road and should be given the appropriate right of way.
2. Be considerate.
   • Do not blast your horn in close proximity to cyclists and look for cyclists when opening doors.
3. Pass with care.
   • When passing, leave four feet between you and a cyclist.
   • Wait for safe road and traffic conditions before you pass.
   • Check in your mirror before moving back.
